Just a beautiful and unique equine photo from the National Geographic Photo Contest that I thought others would enjoy:

That is quite the view! Definitely some type of wide angle fish eye lens. Thanks for sharing!

Haha, I know. I was like, is this horse pregnant?

[lantairvlea]

Maybe! It appears to be a mixed herd and it is a mare, but I think the lens helps with the impression.

I'm guessing it's a GoPro or some sort of rugged deal like that.

Do they have a fisheye lens? The angles and distortion suggests an extreme wide angle, most likely a fisheye of some degeee. It could also be in some sort of protective case. I'd love to see the stats and know how it was set up.

Yeah the gopro's have a pretty wide angle lens. I know when I shoot from on top a horse the camera catches stuff just about directly to my side. And when I've set it up in an arena it gets the whole arena and not just a corner.

Glad you enjoyed it! I have never seen an image like this, so I figured others would like to see it as well.
